Dear Constance, I would like to congratulate you on winning first place. So deserving, indeed. This thought pulls at my heart, "I want to be an unbending tree." Such a powerful statement, which says so much about you and your character. Your thoughts are beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. Congratulations my dear friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Morning, Constance. I've no clue about the contest theme for which your lyrics were written, but I need only read your lines to comprehend the meaning of your song. If a heart could speak, it would sing your lamenting choruses. I'm glad you've written today's potd or I might have overlooked "Beyond the Silence.' Congratulations.
